From 1993 to 2000, viewers followed the relationship of Cory Matthews and Topanga Lawrence-Matthews on "Boy Meets World." More than a decade later, the couple's daughter, Riley, is trying to navigate her 'tween years -- and problems that go with them -- especially in regard to bonds with family and friends. At John Quincy Adams Middle School in Manhattan, Riley finds being a student more difficult because her dad is a history teacher there, and she's in his class. Her mom, a lawyer, is involved in her social life and owns a trendy teen hangout. Among Riley's classmates are best friend Maya, crush Lucas, and quirky Farkle, son of Cory and Topanga's peer Stuart Minkus.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though not quite as comical, Girl Meets World sweetly shares the nostalgia of its predecessor, Boy Meets World, with its young audience while providing positive moral values for today's youth.

It ran for just three seasons but had a charming young cast and updated issues for Cory and friends to deal with in the modern world. Go to Full Review Marc Snetiker Entertainment Weekly 06/27/2014

GMW does improve significantly after the pilot, but it has yet to recapture the warm spirit that made BMW shine. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 06/27/2014
Tediously self-referential and sweet to the point of cloying, the show has an appealing lead in Rowan Blanchard, which, based on past performance, might be enough. Go to Full Review Andre Meadows Black Nerd Comedy 03/03/2018
The two lead girls in this are awesome...Whoever did the casting for those two? Very good job. Go to Full Review Emily Ashby Common Sense Media 07/02/2014

I think it's a cute show that has potential and the nostalgia factor on its side, even if the Disney Channel cheese is a little hard to look past sometimes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Ed R @JustcallmeER 06/09/2025 The only reason this was provided AT LEAST one star was because of the nostalgic characters they brought back from Boy Meets World. See more tiago m @RT31388926 12/06/2024 Não é ruim, mas não chega a ser uma grande série. O roteiro é raso mas entrega o que ele se propõe, os personagens são legais. No fim, é algo pra passar o tempo See more Elisha I @asapidox 10/13/2024 Girl Meets World Season 1 was a sweet and nostalgic watch. It captured the charm of the original while introducing a new generation of relatable kids. The humor and life lessons were lighthearted and mostly effective, though some episodes felt a bit predictable. A solid start that fans of the original would appreciate. See more Will W @RT93096103 01/15/2024 A great spinoff legacy of a great show. See more Enrique P @therealenriquep 03/11/2023 Obviously this isn't as iconic as Boy Meets World but as as a Disney show this was pretty good. The cons are most of the jokes and dumb plotlines but the Plus which carries this is our old friends Corey and Topanga and of course the ever amazing Sabrina Carpenter as Maya Hart. This is Riley's show but man--- Maya stole the show. See more 05/14/2022 Eu amei completamente !! See more Read all reviews
